FIFA has released Goals, the latest single from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album, featuring Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema, South Korean singer LISA, and Brazilian artist Anitta.

The song was unveiled on Thursday via SALXCO UAM and Def Jam Recordings and is now available across major streaming platforms, alongside an official music video.

Produced by Grammy-winning producer Cirkut, Goals blends Afrobeats, K-pop, and Latin pop influences, reflecting the global diversity of the World Cup audience.

FIFA said the project is designed to unite fans worldwide through music and football.

“As the Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Album continues to unfold, it brings together voices from across continents and genres, reflecting the scale and reach of the tournament,” FIFA said.

“The project mirrors the vibrancy and breadth of the global game, serving as a unifying platform where music and sport intersect – connecting fans, communities, and sounds from around the world.”

Speaking on the collaboration, Rema described it as a major milestone for global music.

“Three continents, one track…bringing all our sounds together like this is a big moment for music on the world stage,” he said.

LISA said participating in the project was exciting and meaningful.

“Being a part of the Official FIFA World Cup Album this year has been so exciting. Music always unites people across the world, so it has been an honour to work with Anitta and Rema,” she said.

Anitta also expressed emotional attachment to the project, noting Brazil’s deep football culture.

“My connection to the World Cup is deeply emotional. I’m Brazilian, after all, of course I have wonderful memories tied to the tournament,” she said.

“It’s incredibly special to now contribute to its history, collaborating with LISA and Rema on Goals. I’m very grateful for this opportunity.”

FIFA further announced that the trio will perform the song live for the first time at the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony at Los Angeles Stadium on June 12, ahead of the tournament’s opening match involving the United States.

Goals is the fifth release from the official tournament album, following Lighter, Por Ella, Echo, and Illuminate.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted jointly by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and is scheduled to begin on June 12.
